thread 1/2
I mentioned earlier that my husband has MS, so we had a ramp built on the front of our house for whenever he needs one (since our old step needed to be redone anyway). I took a photo tonight to share here in case anyone needs ideas on ramps that don't scream "we have a wheelchair at this house".

Since I keep getting likes on my ramp photo, I thought I'd add a link to my accessible bathroom thread so all my accessible spouts are in one spot.

I’ve moved more than times than I like to think about, but damn, this would make it so much easier than stepping up and down stairs, like this should just be on all houses. It looks great too.

Thanks! I agree. Would be nice if all new builds were accessible. We are getting new exterior doors and one of the options for the sill was wheelchair accessible (flush). At no added cost. Why not just do that for all new doors then? All these little things make life easier for everyone. 😊

Very nice ramp. Hopefully, he won’t need it but i know how unpredictable MS can be.

I love this beautiful and practical update to your home. Did you already answer if this required some type of permit with your city? I'm asking purely out of curiosity.

Thanks for sharing. Great idea. Long ago we did a small ramt to a farmer's porch and then another to a platform just outside the front door so the porch need up with sort of two levels. ANyone delivering appliances or furniture loved it as did the grandkids when it snowed.

It's a beautiful and very tasteful solution. :-) Just curious, do you have anything in place to help get a chair over the door threshold, or is that not really a problem?

The ramp is basically flush with the threshold. There is maybe an inch that a wheelchair would have to go up or down on the inside of the house, but it is flush on the exterior. My dad was in a wheelchair and I am fairly certain this won't be an issue.

Like you I am forward planning and one of the fixes is smooth access into, throughout and exiting the house.
